Should this EnergyMethod have score and derivative evaluation evaluated only in the context of the whole Pose, or can it be included in a decomposed manner for a residue or a set of residue-pairs that are not part of the Pose that's serving as their context? The default method implemented in the base class returns true in order to grandfather in EnergyMethods that have not had their derivatives changed to take advantage of the new derivative-evaluation machinery. Methods that return "true" will not have their residue-energy(-ext) / residue-pair-energy(-ext) methods invoked by the ScoreFunction during its traversal of the MinimizationGraph, and instead will be asked to perform all their work during finalize_total_energies(). Similarly, they will be expected to perform all their work during eval_atom_deriv() instead of during the ScoreFunction's traversal of the MinimizationGraph for derivative evaluation. IMPORTANT: Methods that return "true" cannot be included in RTMin.

Two body energies are able to define intra-residue energies, and to do so only in the presence of certain non-zero weights. The ScoreFunction will hand over its weight set as it asks whether the energy method defines an intraresidue energy or not.

For example, the Etable method defines intra-residue energies only when one or more of the fa_intra_{atr,rep,sol} weights are non-zero.

returns true if both residues are cys, if both are disulfide-cys, and then if all of these conditions have been satisfied, if residue1's SG atom connects to residue 2, and if residue 2's SG atom connects to residue 1
